( viewstate, css vs table alignment, block vs inline elements, client
side vs server
size code, ... the programmer needs to know a lot more to code a web
appl than desktop.

Actually, I'd go the other way. It's simpler to create a web app then a
desktop app. Sure, you can fire up Visual Studio, drag a couple of
controls onto a form and claim you've written a thick-client
application, but writing a "real" application is something else. This is
especially true if the programmer wants to play with threads. It's
really easy to hang yourself with threads, even more now than it used to
be since with multi-core processors we really have systems where
multiple threads are running simultaneously.

However, there's an interesting point to be made here. With the proper
creation of business objects and a data-access framework the only
difference between thick-client and browser code would be the code
written to present the data. Reads and updates of the data would be
handled by a common set of objects. Any by common I mean truly common,
you'd compile them w/out regard to whether they were used in web or
thick-client.
